Hawaii Fire Commission <br /> Regular Session Minutes <br /> January 26, 2023 <br /> Page 11 <br /> ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> Chair Kosaki announced the commission's next monthly meeting is scheduled for <br /> February 23, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., at the West Hawaii Civic Center, Building A, Council <br /> Chambers, 74-5044 Ane Keohokalole Highway, Kailua-Kona, HI. <br /> DCC Tiapula reported that DCC Keyra Wong will be attending the Kona meetings. <br /> Commissioner Mattos asked if it's appropriate for commissioners to visit their district's <br /> stations and question personnel about their opinions on leadership and administration. <br /> DCC Tiapula stated she will do research and report back to the commission. Chair <br /> Kosaki stated in the past, commissioners would visit the stations and dispatch. He feels <br /> it's good for them to get information outside of what the chief reports to them. <br /> Commissioner Mattos feels if the commission speaks to personnel, they'll be more open <br /> and honest with them about their views and opinions. DCC Tiapula stated a general visit <br /> to the station is ok. It's the questioning of employees that she's concerned about. She <br /> will research this and will provide a response for the commission in executive session. <br /> Commissioner Magsalin asked if they can ask for a copy of the deputy's evaluation or <br /> ask that the chief share it with them. Chair Kosaki asked if it was confidential. DCC <br /> Tiapula stated it would be in executive session and that she would research this and will <br /> provide an answer for the commission at the next meeting. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> The meeting adjourned at 11:31 a.m. <br /> SUBMITTED BY: CHARISSE CORREA, SECRETARY <br /> APPROVED BY: GERALD KOSAKI, CHAIR <br />
